Step Away

Step Away

Step away from the edge
There is life yet to live.
Step away from the edge
There is love yet to give.

There is birdsong to listen to,
Sunsets to see.
Stars in the heavens.
Leaves on the tree.

Beauty surrounds us
Each day and each night.
So welcome the darkness
But look to the light.

Step away from the edge
Don’t let yourself fall.
The wonder of nature
Is there for us all.

H Leonard 26/01/24

(Inspired by a short afternoon walk after a prolonged period of mental anguish).
